Type and Period
Description
In 1846 the National School was built of brick in the early Victorian Style. By the 1870s it was appreciated that another school was required to be built at Court End. However a letter from the educational department in November 1872 suggested that if the National school was enlarged to take a further 53 children no further accommodation would be required. This was agreed and at a vestry meeting on June 4th 1874 an estimate of £380 by a Thomas Wiggins was accepted for the necessary work for enlargement to be carried out. <1>
